The first Union-Leader editorial had no quotes. This second one has 2 or 3 "quotes" of phrases not sentences, plus their interpretation of the quotes.
JMO, I would like to see the entire transcript of the interview. The Union-Leader no doubt has it, why won't they let their readers decide for themselves?
Fair enough. I would think that on an issue as critical as this that they would be more careful to document what they wrote.
